Preface
General
The B737 Performance Section contains performance data for the operation
of American Airlines B737 aircraft. This Performance Section is separate
from the Operations Manual in that it has its own log of pages, revision
record, and bulletins. It consists of the following sub-sections in Volume I of
the B737 Operations Manual:
• TPS – Explanation and procedures for takeoff using TPS.
• Loading – Explanation on TPS Weight & Balance Section and Load
Closeout.
• Takeoff – Takeoff data including thrust settings and V-speeds. Also
contains information for takeoff on wet runways and runways
contaminated by standing water, slush, snow, or ice.
• Cruise – Thrust setting data, cruise data, and buffet margin speeds.
• Landing – Thrust setting data, maximum landing weights, and advisory
landing information.
• Emergency / Abnormal – Data for enroute engine loss and operations
with landing gear extended.
• Tables and Conversions – Various conversion data.
• FAR Performance – General explanation of takeoff, enroute, and landing
performance. Also includes various explanations on performance issues.
• Appendix - Contains Takeoff Card.
Page Color
Data specific to the -NG (3AA - 3PX) is on blue colored pages, and -MAX 8
(3RA - 3VM) on yellow colored pages.
Interpolation
Except as listed below, interpolation is required when using tables in this
Performance Section. Interpolation carried out by mental computation is
sufficient.
Interpolation is not required:
• When ranges of values are shown on the table as the input parameter.
For example, the V-speeds table shows ranges for both altitude and
temperature. For these parameters, interpolation is not allowed.
However, the takeoff gross weight, on the V-speeds table, is not shown
as ranges. One must interpolate the takeoff gross weight to determine
the V-speeds.
• When the resulting value is conservative. For example, if one is
determining a maximum operating weight, and interpolation will only
result in a heavier weight, interpolation is not required if the lighter weight
is sufficient.

Introduction
Takeoff Performance Data
The Takeoff Performance System (TPS) is the primary source of takeoff
data. For most operations, the TPS will provide all necessary data. In some
situations, TPS data is used in conjunction with Information located in the
Performance Section of the Operating Manual.
The flap setting specified by TPS does not preclude the flight crew from
requesting or using a different flap.
On secondary runways (other than the first runway), if an asterisk (*)
appears next to the flap setting, it indicates that another flap setting
would be more advantageous for this runway. If using a secondary
runway for departure that has an asterisk, consider requesting new TPS
data for that runway.
Takeoff Obstructions
The obstructions used to determine the maximum takeoff weight are based
on a straight-out departure, or, if a special engine-out departure procedure is
specified, along that flight path. Also, obstructions are only analyzed up to
the end of the takeoff acceleration segment.
In the event of an engine failure after V1, the only area in which obstruction
clearance is assured is along the extended runway centerline, or, if there is
a special engine-out departure procedure, along the special procedure flight
path. If it becomes necessary or desirable to turn out of this corridor,
the pilot must assure obstruction clearance.
Improved Performance
There are several FAA approved methods that can be used to increase
takeoff weights above basic performance levels. These are referred to as
Improved Performance and are used to accommodate payload. The primary
concept of Improved Performance for the B737 is "Improved Climb". This is
a technique to simply increase V-speeds to increase the climb gradient. The
improved climb gradient is then used to increase takeoff weight or to meet
obstacle clearance requirements. More background information on Improved
Performance is located in the FAR Performance section.
If Improved Performance is required, the message IMP WT, IMP xxTW, or
IMP xxHW will appear in the AT column, on the RWY line, in the Thrust /
V-speed section. If Improved Performance is authorized, the limit weight (the
lighter of TPS computed CLIMB and RWY limits) will be shown in an
IMPROVED PERFORMANCE field in the Airport Analysis Data section.
10.6 PERFORMANCE - TPS
10 JUL 18 B737 Operations Manual, Volume I
Only one maximum weight is shown for each runway in the Improved
Performance portion of the Airport Analysis Data section on the TPS. This
one limiting weight is the lighter (most limiting) of the Improved Performance
runway and climb limits, for the runway.
Improved Performance data is shown in the Airport Analysis section for
reference only. Improved Performance data may only be used if it
appears in the Thrust / V-speed section of the TPS for the applicable
runway. The V-speeds are adjusted from the normal speeds, and the thrust
V-speed section is the only source of Improved Performance speeds.
Improved Performance data will only be available for 26K, 27K Bump, and
TO takeoff thrust.
Limitations for use of Improved Performance:
• Improved Performance is prohibited with MEL / CDL items containing a
takeoff weight correction UNLESS takeoff data is automatically corrected
by TPS (TPAS), or MEL/CDL item permits Improved Performance.
• Runway must not be covered with snow, slush, ice, or standing water.
• Takeoff with tailwind is only allowed if the data in the Thrust / V-speed
section of the TPS are based on the tailwind.
• Maximum Thrust at 26K, 27K Bump, or TO thrust rating is required.
Standard Thrust or 24K, 22K, TO1, or TO2 is not permitted.
• V-speeds from the Performance Section or FMS QRH shall not be used
(Improved Performance V-speeds can only be generated by TPS).
• If the takeoff weight exceeds the PTOW by more than 2000 lbs (but not
heavier than MTOW) and Improved Performance is required, another
TPS must be obtained since Improved Performance V-speeds can only
be generated by TPS.
When takeoff weight is less than PTOW, the respective Improved
Performance V-speeds may be used, or if time permits, request a new TPS,
or enter the Airport Analysis Data section of the TPS and determine if the
takeoff weight can be accommodated without Improved Performance. If it
can, use QRH V-speeds or calculate V-speeds from the tables in the Takeoff
section.
If the temperature is hotter than planned, the V-speeds in the Thrust /
V-Speed section may still be used provided:
• The temperature is not hotter than 2°C above the planned temperature.
• The takeoff weight does not exceed the PTOW by more than 2000 lbs.
And,
• The takeoff weight does not exceed the Improved Performance
maximum takeoff weight shown in the Airport Analysis section
If the current temperature is above Plan TEMP by more than 2°C, new
takeoff data must be obtained by ACARS or voice call.

19 JUL 17 B737 Operations Manual, Volume I
MAX-PNLT Either the MEL/CDL item requires Max Thrust for takeoff, or the
Dispatcher has manually adjusted the MTOW to the primary
runway. Data is based on the thrust rating shown at the top of
the TPS (22K, 24K, 26K, 27K Bump, TO2, TO1, or TO). BLD
OFF will be selected automatically if 26K, 27K Bump, or TO
thrust is selected.
NOTE
If the Dispatcher manually adjusts the MTOW (D suffix on
MTOW), TPS V-speeds will not be adjusted, the flight
crew is responsible for any adjustments.
MAX-SPCL MAX thrust required by company policy for either the runway or
flap setting. This is usually for noise abatement procedures or
other special operational requirements. See FM Part II airport
advisory page for more information.
2) Maximum Takeoff Weight (MTOW) in 1000 lbs. Note: This is the maximum
weight for the conditions (flap setting and BLD configuration) specified. It may
be possible to obtain a heavier maximum weight by changing the flap setting,
BLD OFF, or thrust rating.
The letter suffix identifies the limiting condition. They are as follows:
T MTOW is limited by CLIMB or RWY Limits
S MTOW is limited by STRUCT WT LIMIT
L MTOW is limited by landing weight limit, the Maximum Landing Weight at
the destination airport plus the planned fuel burn.
A MTOW is limited by CLIMB or RWY Limits which have been adjusted for
BLD OFF, or the load agent has planned a headwind / tailwind. BLD will
always be OFF with a wind adjustment, if available for rating.
D Dispatcher has manually adjusted MTOW for primary runway due to
runway conditions or other performance decrement. Note: TPS V-Speeds
are not adjusted.
E Dispatcher has limited MTOW due to enroute considerations (e.g.
driftdown, depressurization, fuel)
X MTOW is based on Improved Performance (may be preempted by S or L,
verify with message in the Assumed Temperature field)

2! Runway Messages. One of the following runway messages will appear if TPS
cannot compute takeoff data for the runway.
PTOW EXCEEDS MTOW ALL FLAPS
For the Thrust Rating shown on the top of the TPS, the planned takeoff weight
(PTOW) is too heavy for all available flaps.
It may be possible to takeoff at a higher thrust rating. Request a new TPS for
the runway. If a takeoff is possible at a higher rating, it will return a valid TPS.
If TPS is already using 26K, 27K Bump, or TO thrust, the aircraft is too heavy
for takeoff on this runway.
PTOW EXCEEDS MTOW - RQST NEW TPS
For the Thrust Rating and Flap setting, the planned takeoff weight (PTOW) is
too heavy. It is possible to takeoff at the thrust rating shown on the TPS, but
not the flap setting selected.
Request a new TPS for the runway (it will optimize the flap setting for this
runway), or if unable to request new TPS ...
Compute data from the airport analysis section, if possible. See “Manual
Takeoff Calculation” on page 30.7.
FLAP N/A THIS RWY - RQST NEW TPS
TPS does not have any data for this Thrust Rating and Flap for this runway.
Request a new TPS for the runway (it will optimize thrust rating and flap setting
for this runway), or if unable to request new TPS ...
Compute data from the airport analysis section, if possible. See “Manual
Takeoff Calculation” on page 30.7.
WIND ADJT-CALL LOADS OR COMPUTE DATA
The load agent has input a headwind or tailwind for the primary runway. TPS
will only compute data for the primary runway, or any parallel runway. All other
runways will have this message in the Thrust / V-speed section.
A parallel runway is defined as a runway with a designation ± 1. For example,
if the primary runway is 17, runways 16 and 18 are considered parallel along
with all Left, Center, Right, and any intersections.
Either contact the load agent, compute the data yourself using the airport
analysis data, or request an ACARS TPS. Unless the load agent changes the
wind adjustment to the desired runway, the ACARS TPS will return data for
that runway without wind adjustments.
To compute data from the airport analysis section, see “Manual Takeoff
Calculation” on page 30.7.

3) Tailwind Corrections (in lbs per knot) for the RWY limits for each runway.
• If “N/A” appears in the tailwind data field, takeoff with tailwinds are not
authorized on that runway.
• A correction of “0” lbs means the maximum tailwind component is
authorized with no weight adjustment required.
3! Engine-Out Acceleration Height in feet, both AFL and MSL.
3@ Available Runway Length in feet.
3# Runway Slope in percent. A negative slope is downhill, positive is uphill.

23 JUL 14 B737 Operations Manual, Volume I
Improved Performance
If Improved Performance data is available for any of the runways shown on
the TPS, the Airport Analysis Data section will show the Improved
Performance maximum weights. The Thrust / V-Speed section will show
Improved Performance data if the PTOW requires it. An example is shown
below.
Only RWY limit data is shown because this contains both the runway /
obstacle limit and the climb limit. This data is for reference, Improved
Performance may only be used if it appears in the Thrust / V-Speed section
of the TPS.
If the load agent enters a planned wind component for the primary runway,
the Improved Performance weights for the primary and any parallel runway
will be based on this wind, and the wind will be shown below the Improved
Performance weights in the airport analysis section. It will be preceded by a
H for headwind, T for tailwind.

10 JUL 18 B737 Operations Manual, Volume I
Wind Adjustments
The Load Agent may issue a TPS with an MTOW that has been adjusted for
a planned tailwind or up to half of the reported headwind. The captain may
authorize (in coordination with dispatch) the load agent to use the full
headwind component as determined by the captain.
When a wind adjustment is made by the load agent, the TPS is affected as
follows:
• TPS THRUST / V-SPEED section will display data for the primary
runway and any parallel runway. Data for all other runways will be
inhibited because MTOW for those runways has not been adjusted for
winds. WIND ADJT- CALL LOADS OR COMPUTE DATA will appear
in lieu of data.
• Any runway with a designation within ± 1 is considered parallel (i.e.
runways 17 and 18 are considered parallel).
• Max Thrust will be required. MAX will be displayed in AT field for the
primary runway xxHW or xxTW will be display the planned headwind or
tailwind in the assumed temperature field.
• TPS will default to BLD OFF. However, BLD ON may be used if the
adjusted MTOW is within the BLD ON RWY and CLIMB limit weights
(see Manual Takeoff Calculation). If thrust ratings 24K, 22K, TO1, or
TO2 is used, data will be based on BLD ON because BLD OFF does not
exist for these ratings.
• ACARS Takeoff Data requests for any runway other than the primary
runway (or a parallel runway) on the original TPS, will not include the
wind adjustment. This adjustment must be made manually to the request
if the conditions require it.
TEMPERATURE VARIATION
Note: If a combination of a weight, temperature, and / or wind variation exists,
check Weight Variation, followed by Temperature Variation, followed by Wind
Variation.

Introduction
General
This chapter contains information and descriptions of loading data used by
the flight crew.
The Load Planning System (LPS), a system within DECS, is the primary
system for computing aircraft weight and balance as well as checking to
ensure the aircraft is within weight and c.g. limits. This system works in
concert with TPS and the Flight Planning system to coordinate weight and
fuel loading.
The primary output to the flight crew is the:
• TPS Weight and Balance Data
• Load Closeout
Both of these outputs are described on the following pages.
Load Closeout
Load closeout information is required prior to departure and may be printed,
displayed electronically, or read over voice radio call. In all cases both flight
and nose number must be provided.
Procedures
The Load Planner procedures for this situation are:
1. Turn off the auto radio closeout function.
2. Contact the gate agent with instructions regarding which rows must
remain empty.
3. Contact the #1 flight attendant and advise that no passengers should be
moved into the blocked rows for the duration of the flight.
4. Advise the Captain with a free text message appended to the Load
Closeout similar to the following:
"DUE TO EOW AND/OR ZFW C.G. LIMITATIONS, THE FIRST (4 or 8)
ROWS OF COACH MUST REMAIN EMPTY FOR THE DURATION OF THE
FLIGHT."
The Captain will ensure the F/A #1/Purser is familiar with the seating
restriction and that this restriction applies for T/O, enroute, and landing.

Introduction
General
Takeoff data in this section is identical to the data computed by TPS and may
be used for manual computations, verification of TPS data, or in lieu of some
TPS data if it is not available. A description of TPS is in the TPS section. A
discussion on takeoff performance is in the FAR Performance section.
Thrust Ratings
The CFM56 on the -NG has four thrust ratings for takeoff; 22K, 24K, 26K, and
27K Bump. The LEAP-1B on the -MAX 8 has three thrust rating for takeoff;
TO2, TO1, and TO. Takeoff thrust and V-speeds are specific to the thrust
rating used. These pages are labeled for the applicable thrust rating and
aircraft.
Other than takeoff at Santa Ana, Ca. (SNA) airport, 27K Bump on the -NG is
limited to pre-authorized routes, and only when 27K Bump thrust is needed
to carry the payload.
As 27K Bump thrust will be available for takeoffs in these situations, outside
of these the crew must not select it without dispatch and load agent
concurrence.
For the -NG, use 26K at SNA unless 27K Bump is needed to carry the
payload. 27K takeoffs are not limited at SNA. However, AA policy is to use
26K when payload permits.
For the -MAX 8, takeoffs at SNA will be limited to the TO thrust rating.
Thrust Settings
Maximum Takeoff Thrust settings are provided for each of the thrust ratings
based on BLD ON. N1 adjustments for BLD OFF are shown only for the 26K,
27K Bump, and TO ratings. No BLD OFF adjustments are listed for 22K,
24K, TO2, or TO1 ratings because the next higher rating should be used if
more thrust is required. No thrust setting correction is necessary for Engine
Anti-Ice ON.
Other thrust setting data is located in the following sections:
• Go-Around Thrust – Landing
• Maximum Climb Thrust – Cruise
• Maximum Cruise Thrust – Cruise
• Maximum Continuous Thrust – Emergency / Abnormal
Speeds
There are three sources of takeoff V-speeds:
• TPS
• FMS QRH
• Performance Section tables
10.2 PERFORMANCE - TAKEOFF
10 JUL 18 B737 Operations Manual, Volume I
TPS V-speeds
V-speeds are shown in the Thrust / V-speed section of the TPS. These
speeds are also uplinked into the FMC TAKEOFF REF page 1.
TPS V-speeds must always be adjusted for contaminated runways and if the
dispatcher manually enters a max weight (D suffix on MTOW). MEL/CDL
items that are corrected by TPAS do not require any further adjustments.
If the TPS speeds are not uploaded or need to be adjusted, it is preferred that
they be entered by selecting the FMS QRH speeds, unless prohibited by the
section “FMS QRH V-speeds may never be used.”
Utilization of FMS QRH V-Speeds
The FMC QRH V-Speeds may only be used after the Load Closeout is
received and data accepted (uplinked or manually input).
The QRH V-speeds may only be used if correct V-speeds did not up-link or
there is a need to change V-speeds.
The conditions that would require the V-speeds to be changed
include:
• Tailwind - Requires Max Thrust at the Planned Thrust Rating, e.g. 22K /
24K / 26K / 27K / TO2 / TO1 / TO. Check airport analysis.
• Takeoff weight exceeds ATOW for a planned Standard Thrust takeoff
- Requires Max Thrust at the Planned Thrust Rating.
• Takeoff weight exceeds PTOW by more than 2000 lbs, for a Planned
Maximum Thrust takeoff - Check the Airport Analysis Data and use Max
Thrust at the Planned Thrust Rating.
• Engine anti-ice used and not corrected for by TPS - Requires Max Thrust
at the Planned Thrust Rating. Request new TPS or check airport
analysis.
• Windshear is reported or expected - Requires 26K Max Thrust (27K at
KSNA or other airports with a planned 27K TPS), or TO. If able, use flaps
5, 10 (-MAX 8 only), or 15 for takeoff.
FMS QRH V-speeds may never be used for:
• Improved Performance (only TPS V-speeds can be used)
• Contaminated Runways (only V-speeds from a CRC/MEL message can
be used), or
• Any MEL/CDL item with V-speed corrections. Only V-speeds corrected
by TPS or manually corrected can be used.
• EECs in Alternate mode.

V1 speeds that fall in the shaded area on the V-speeds table must be
compared to VMCG. Use the following steps:
1. Make any applicable corrections shown above.
2. Compare calculated V1 with VMCG (Minimum V1). Use the faster as V1.
3. If V1 was increased to VMCG in Step 1., and VR is now slower than V1,
increase VR to new V1.
4. If VR was increased in Step 2., increase V2 by the same amount that VR
was increased.
NOTE
If V1 is reduced for a wet runway, compare corrected V1 to VMCG,
regardless of the shaded area on the V-Speeds table.

Runway Surface
The performance data for wet runways are divided into two runway surface
conditions. One condition is based on a runway without a special skid
resistant surface. The second surface condition is a runway with a
skid-resistant surface. This is defined by a runway that is either grooved or
has a porous friction course overlay (PFC).
If the runway is listed as grooved or PFC under Additional Runway
Information on the Jeppesen airport page or NOTAM, the data for
skid-resistant runways is used.
Runways listed only as wire combed may not use the skid resistant surface
data.
TPS will internally use the appropriate data and normally no action
concerning the runway surface is necessary, unless FMS QRH V-speeds are
used, or when looking-up the V-Speeds in this section. When using FMS
QRH V-speeds, ensure the appropriate runway surface is selected on
TAKEOFF REF Page 2 in the FMS.

Dry Snow is loose snow which cannot be compacted by hand. Takeoff is not
authorized with over 4 inches of dry snow due to the possibility of structural
damage.
Compacted Snow is snow that has been compressed, but is not slick. A
typical friction coefficient ( is 0.2.
Ice is a runway covered with hard frozen precipitation. Ice conditions
generally forms when snow is either heavily compacted or refreezes after
melting.
Assumptions The contaminated runway correction data uses the following
assumptions as the basis of the calculation:
• The runway is completely covered by a uniform layer of contamination.
• Wheel braking effectivity is 25% of that on a dry runway. Except ice data
uses a friction coefficient (of 0.05.
• Thrust reverser on remaining engine is used during a rejected takeoff.
• Additional drag due to contaminant impingement on the aircraft. Except
ice and compacted snow data does not have impingement drag.

Introduction
General
The primary source for cruise information is the Flight Plan and FMS. The
data in this section is used for verification or in lieu of data from these
sources, if it is unavailable.
The information contained in this section is valid for two engine cruise in
normal configuration. Data for single engine cruise or gear down cruise is
located in the Emergency / Abnormal section.
Climb Thrust
The FMC provides two prescheduled reduced climb thrust selections on the
N1 limit page. Selecting Climb 1 or 2 will reduce the climb N1 3% for Climb 1
and 6% for Climb 2 (approximately 10% and 20% thrust reduction). Reduced
climb thrust may also be automatically selected by the FMS depending upon
the amount of thrust reduction made for takeoff. Climb thrust reductions are
automatically programmed to be “ramped out” by 15,000 feet during the
climb.
Cruise Information
Cruise information (N1 Required, TAS, CAS, and Fuel Flow) is located in a
series of tables based on selected cruise speed. The available cruise speeds
in this manual are:
• 250 / 320 Knot
• Mach .79
• Two Engine Max Range Cruise (Cost Index Zero)
The 250/320 knot cruise information is used for cruise at low altitude,
generally below 25,000 feet.
The Two Engine Max Range Cruise (MRC) table is provided to determine the
cruise speed with the highest fuel mileage. Cruising at a speed slower than
MRC will decrease fuel mileage and increase time.
Cruise Speed
The flight planning system utilizes many inputs to determine the best cruise
speed for a given flight. Fuel burn, crew costs, aircraft maintenance costs,
forecast wind, and scheduled flight time are some of the major
considerations. Unless these conditions change from the time the flight plan
was generated, fly at the cruise speed shown on the flight plan.
If the actual cruise altitude is significantly lower than the planned altitude, fly
the FMS Econ speed based on the Flight Plan Cost Index.
Cruise Altitude
The flight planning system will determine the best cruise altitude based on
costs, scheduled flight time and forecast winds. Unless other conditions
dictate or change, fly the planned altitude.
The cruise tables indicate the optimum altitude (shaded boxes). This
indicates the altitude in which the specific range at zero wind is the greatest.
To determine the actual optimum altitude, the wind must be considered. If the
wind is more advantageous at an other altitude, use the wind / altitude trade
logic in the FMS or hand calculation to determine the best cruise altitude.
10.3 PERFORMANCE - CRUISE
23 JUL 14 B737 Operations Manual, Volume I
Fuel Mileage
The actual fuel mileage is monitored for each aircraft from the engine
condition readings. This fuel mileage is used to factor the fuel burn on the
flight plan and is shown on the flight plan output as fuel bias. Adjust the fuel
flow and specific range data from the FMS and performance charts by this
factor. Increase the fuel flow for a positive bias and reduce fuel flow for a
negative bias. For example, a bias of P02.2 indicates that the fuel flow from
the charts should be increased by 2.2%.
Holding Information
The Two Engine Holding chart contains holding fuel flow (per engine) and
recommended holding speed for various altitudes and gross weights. The
fuel flow rate is based on Packs ON, standard day, gear and flaps retracted,
and holding in a standard racetrack pattern. Recommended holding speed is
the minimum drag speed.

Enroute Alternates
When listed enroute alternates appear in the body of the flight plan, terrain
clearance and fuel consumption to that alternate is accounted for provided
there are no deviations from the flight plan.
Enroute alternates may be on-line or off-line airports. All airports will be
authorized for B737 operations as listed in AAL Operations Specifications.
All enroute alternates listed on the flight plan will be checked for weather,
field conditions, and airport NOTAMs by the Flight Dispatcher. No enroute
alternate listed on the flight plan will be an airport where special crew
qualifications involving a check-ride are necessary.
When terrain between departure and destination airport is above 6000 feet
MSL for the route of flight, the system either establishes; 1) “not to exceed
ramp weights” and “minimum cruise altitudes” or 2) provides decision
point(s) with or without enroute alternates.

Introduction
General
This is the primary source of landing performance data. This section contains
thrust settings, speeds, maximum landing weight tables for dispatch, and
landing performance assessment data.
This section has two set of data for landing length requirements. The data
labeled “Runway Limited Maximum Landing Weight” are required to be
observed at time of dispatch. The landing data from the iPad® Landing app
or the tables in the Advisory Landing Data section are to be used at time of
actual landing for landing performance assessment. More information is
located in the Advisory Landing Data section.
Overweight Landing
Landing at a weight heavier than the maximum structural landing weight is
considered an “overweight” landing. See Flight Manual Part I for overweight
landing policy.
The maximum landing weights shown in this manual extend to weights
heavier than maximum structural landing weight. This provides data for
Overweight Landings.
Abnormal Configurations
When landing with abnormal configurations due to an in-flight failure, use the
Advisory Landing Distances for Abnormal Configurations tables in the QRH.
• Headwind - Weight in 1000 lbs per knot headwind which may be added
to the table weight
• Tailwind - Weight in 1000 lbs per knot tailwind which MUST be
subtracted from the table weight.
MEL / CDL Corrections
Weight and/or Usable Landing Length penalties for inoperative systems or
components are contained within affected MEL / CDL items. The penalties
are applied to the Climb Limited Landing Weight, Usable Landing Length,
and / or Maximum Allowable Landing Weight as specified in the Maximum
Allowable Landing Weight Computation Form. Use of this form is optional.
Field Elevation
The Climb Limit and Runway Limit charts are labeled “Pressure Altitude”. It
is acceptable to use Airport Field Elevation for Pressure Altitude.
Special Landing Analysis for Dispatch
Special landing analysis data based on wet/grooved landing performance is
published for Santa Ana, California (SNA / KSNA) for both the -NG and
-MAX 8.

Manual Computation
The Landing Data tables in this section are used as a backup to manually
compute the Required Landing Distance for the Landing Distance
assessment.
Chart use
1. Use the chart for the planned landing flap and planned braking method
(Maximum Manual or Autobrakes) and autobrake setting.
2. Enter the chart with airport Pressure Altitude and planned Gross Weight.
Move over to the column for the runway surface condition, read the
required landing distance.
3. Apply any applicable corrections shown at the bottom of the column.
Use the chart on PERFORMANCE - TABLES & CONVERSIONS 10.1 to
determine Head / Tail wind component. Correction is in feet per knot of
wind.
NOTE
The basic length from the table is based on VREF+5. The “Each 5kt
above Vapp,” corrects for the additional speed faster than VREF+5.
Add this correction for each additional 5 knots.
If operating with a MEL/CDL item that contains a landing runway correction,
apply the correction from the MEL/CDL.

VNAV mode is not to be used during gear down operations. There is no
accountability for gear drag and no provisions for the FMC to generate climb,
cruise, or descent speed schedules or fuel predictions appropriate for gear
down flight. Use the tables in this section.
Ferry Flights
This data is also used for maintenance ferry flights planned to be operated
with the gear extended.
Takeoff with the known inability to retract the landing gear requires
corrections to the takeoff and landing performance. Apply the takeoff and
landing corrections shown on the following page.

Standard Atmosphere
The standard atmosphere is a hypothetical vertical distribution of temperature,
pressure, and density which by international agreement is taken to be
representative of the atmosphere for the purpose of altimeter calibration, aircraft
design, performance calculations, etc. The internationally accepted standard
atmosphere is called the International Standard Atmosphere (ISA).
Most of the enroute/cruise data is based on the standard atmosphere with
corrections for hotter or colder temperatures.

Introduction
General
This chapter contains reference information on performance regulations and
related performance issues. American Airline’s aircraft are certified by the
manufacturer under the performance requirements of FAR Part 25. These
performance requirements are only used to determine the operating
limitations, such as maximum operating weights, and do not necessarily
imply operating procedures. Even though there is no obligation to operate
under these certification rules, understanding these rules may be helpful to
comprehend the application of operating limitations.
The information in this chapter is not required for aircraft operation. The
inclusion of this material is only for the convenience of the flight crew and
dispatcher to assist in understanding performance limitations.
It is important to distinguish the difference between certification regulations
and operating requirements. FAR Part 25 contains regulations for certifying
aircraft. The manufacturer must adhere to these rules when determining
operating limits for the aircraft. Whereas, the operator must follow FAR Parts
91 and 121 when operating the aircraft. Part 25 rules do not imply operating
procedures, techniques, or requirements. Even though this section
describes the rules in Part 25, there is no obligation to operate the aircraft in
this manner other than observing the resulting aircraft limitations.
In following the operating rules, one must identify the applicability of each
rule. For instance, many of the requirements of Part 121 apply only at
dispatch. Other FAR requirements apply at all times as do the AFM
limitations. For example, FAR 121.195 prohibit dispatch unless, allowing for
enroute fuel burn, the airplane will be capable of landing on 60% of the
available runway at the planned destination. The regulations do not,
however, prohibit the aircraft from landing at the destination when, upon
arrival, conditions have changed and more than 60% of the runway is
required. In this case, the aircraft must only be able to land on the effective
runway length as shown in the flight manual performance data.
Throughout this chapter a number of terms will be introduced. At the end of
the chapter is a glossary describing some of the terminology.

Maximum Takeoff Weight
The Maximum Takeoff Weight for a given flight is the lightest of the:
• Climb Limit
• Field Length Limit
• Obstacle Limit
• Brake Energy Limit
• Tire Speed Limit, or
• Structural Takeoff Weight Limit
All of these limits, except for the structural limit, are defined by the
performance capability of the aircraft. The structural limit is based on the
weight capability of the aircraft structure.
NOTE
The 3rd segment (acceleration / transition) is assumed to be level
acceleration. However the aircraft must be capable of a 1.2% climb
during the entire segment.

Obstacle Clearance
The “gross gradient” is the actual aircraft takeoff gradient with one engine
inoperative, based on takeoff weight, temperature, and pressure altitude.
The “net gradient” is the gross gradient minus 0.8%. Using a net gradient has
the effect of increasing the obstacle clearance margin by 0.8% times the
distance from the runway to the obstacle.
In the TPS system, the obstacle limit is included in the runway limit. The only
obstacles considered are obstructions located along the extended runway
centerline (straight out), up to the end of the 3rd segment. Or, in the case of
a published engine failure procedure, along the engine-out flight path. If a
turn is made away from the extended runway centerline, or the engine-out
flight path, obstacle clearance is not assured.
Brake Energy Limit is the maximum weight in which the aircraft is capable
of rejecting a takeoff and not exceed the kinetic energy absorption capability
of the brakes. In the TPS system, the brake energy limit is included in the
Runway limit.
Tire Speed Limit is the maximum weight in which the lift-off speed (VLOF)
will not exceed the maximum tire speed. In the TPS system, the tire speed
limit is included in the runway limit.
Structural Takeoff Weight Limit
Structural Takeoff Weight Limit is the maximum takeoff weight based on
aircraft structural concerns. Generally the structural takeoff weight limit is a
fixed weight, not dependent on temperature or pressure altitude.
20.5 PERFORMANCE - FAR PERF
19 JUL 17 B737 Operations Manual, Volume I
Takeoff Speeds
The takeoff speeds are defined as follows:
V1 is the takeoff action speed. It is the speed at which the engine is
assumed to fail (VEF) plus the speed gained during the interval between
engine failure and the instant in which the pilot recognizes and reacts to
the engine failure.
The engine failure speed (VEF) cannot be slower than VMCG. VMCG
(minimum control speed on the ground) is the minimum speed on the
ground in which it is possible to maintain control of the aircraft using the
rudder alone and continue the takeoff after a sudden engine failure.
VR is the rotation speed. It cannot be slower than V1, 105% of VMCA, or a
speed the results in a lift-off speed (VLOF) slower than VMU plus a
margin.
VMCA (minimum control speed in the air) is the minimum speed in which
it is possible to maintain control of the aircraft with one engine
inoperative and maintain straight flight with a bank angle less than 5
degrees.
VMU (minimum unstick speed) is the minimum speed in which the
aircraft can safely lift off the ground.
It must also be shown that rotating 5 knots slower than VR will not cause
the takeoff to exceed the runway length. Also, reasonably expected
variations in takeoff procedures should not result in unsafe flight
characteristics or in marked increases in the takeoff distance.
V2 is the takeoff safety speed. It must not be slower than 1.2 Vs (stall
speed), or 110% of VMCA.
Takeoff Thrust
Takeoff thrust is the maximum certified takeoff thrust for the temperature and
pressure altitude. Each of the thrust ratings (22K, 24K, 26K, 27K Bump, TO2,
TO1 & TO) are certified maximum takeoff thrust.
The B737 has two methods to extend engine life and reduce engine
maintenance costs by reducing takeoff thrust, variable thrust ratings, and use
of standard thrust. In most cases the two methods will be used in
combination.
Variable thrust ratings utilizes certified takeoff performance based on a
number of takeoff thrust levels. Whereas standard thrust uses an assumed
temperature to reduce thrust. For most takeoffs, the aircraft takeoff weight is
substantially lighter than the maximum weight limit. In this case, it is
permitted to reduce the thrust used for takeoff by using either or both means.
The advantage of the variable thrust ratings is that a lower thrust rating can
be used in those cases which require maximum takeoff thrust (i.e. MEL/CDL
items). Further, The FARs only allow a 25% reduction when using standard
thrust. If standard thrust is used in conjunction with a lower thrust rating, the
takeoff thrust reduction limit of 25% is off of the lower rating.

Distance
The obstacle clearance altitude is equal to the height of the obstacle, plus 35
ft, plus 0.008 (0.8%) times the distance from the runway to the obstacle. The
point on the runway from which this distance is measured is the point where
the aircraft is assumed to reach 35 ft after an engine failure at V1.
Because the lift-off point on the runway changes with thrust rating, flap
setting, and intersection takeoff point, the distance to the obstacle, and
hence the EO ACCEL ALT will change.
The EO ACCEL ALT is shown on the TPS in both AFL and MSL.

Runway Distances
Takeoff Run Available (TORA) The runway length declared available and
suitable for the ground run of an airplane taking off. The TORA is typically the
physical length of the runway, but it may be shorter than the runway length if
necessary to satisfy runway design standards. For example, the TORA may
be shorter than the runway length if a portion of the runway must be used to
satisfy runway protection zone requirements.
Takeoff Distance Available (TODA) The takeoff run available plus the
length of any remaining runway or clearway beyond the far end of the takeoff
run available. “Clearway” is defined as an area beyond the takeoff end that
is clear of obstacles above a 1.25% sloped plane, not less than 250 feet wide
on each side of the extended runway centerline. This area must be approved
and controlled by the airport authority. AA does not normally take credit for
clearway.
Accelerate Stop Distance Available (ASDA) The runway plus stopway
length declared available and suitable for the acceleration and deceleration
of an airplane aborting a takeoff. “Stopway” is defined as a surface, no less
wide than the runway, centered on the runway, capable of supporting the
aircraft during a rejected takeoff, and is designated by the airport authority.
The ASDA may be longer than the physical length of the runway when a
stopway has been designated available by the airport operator, or it may be
shorter than the physical length of the runway if necessary to use a portion
of the runway to satisfy runway design standards; for example, where the
airport operator uses a portion of the runway to achieve the runway safety
area requirement. ASDA is the distance used to satisfy the airplane
accelerate-stop distance performance requirements. AA does not normally
take credit for a stopway.
Landing Distance Available (LDA) The runway length declared available
and suitable for a landing airplane. The LDA may be less than the physical
length of the runway or the length of the runway remaining beyond a
displaced threshold if necessary to satisfy runway design standards; for
example, where the airport operator uses a portion of the runway to achieve
the runway safety area requirement.
NOTE
For LAHSO operations, the term “Available Landing Distance (ALD)”
is used for that portion of the runway available for landing and rollout
for aircraft cleared for LAHSO. This distance is measured from the
landing threshold to the hold short point.
Runway design standards may impose restrictions on the amount of
runway available for use in takeoff and landing that are not apparent from the
reported physical length of the runway or from runway markings and lighting.
The runway elements of Runway Safety Area (RSA), Runway Object Free
Area (ROFA), and Runway Protection Zone (RPZ) may reduce a runway's
declared distances to less than the physical length of the runway at
geographically constrained airports (see example on following page). When
considering the amount of runway available for use in takeoff or landing
performance calculations, the declared distances published for a runway
must always be used in lieu of the runway's physical length.
20.9 PERFORMANCE - FAR PERF
30 OCT 18 B737 Operations Manual, Volume I
Runway Safety Area (RSA) The RSA is centered on the runway centerline,
and must be; cleared, drained, capable, under dry conditions, of supporting
snow removal equipment, Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF)
equipment, and the occasional passage of aircraft without causing damage
to the aircraft, and free of objects, except for objects that need to be located
in the RSA because of their function. Objects higher than 3 inches must be
frangible.
EMAS is an alternative that can be considered to mitigate overruns at
airports when a full-dimension RSA is not practicable due to natural
obstacles, local development, and/or environmental constraints. EMAS may
also be used to maximize runway length.
While some runway elements associated with declared distances may be
identifiable through runway markings or lighting (for example, a displaced
threshold or a stopway), the individual declared distance limits are not
marked or otherwise identified on the runway. An aircraft is not prohibited
from operating beyond a declared distance limit during the takeoff, landing,
or taxi operation provided the runway surface is appropriately marked as
usable runway. The following example clarifies the intent of this paragraph.

30 OCT 18 B737 Operations Manual, Volume I
Improved Performance
Performance Limits
TPS shows two performance limits, Climb, and Runway. Both of these limits
are calculated using the performance information generated by the
manufacturer.
The Climb Limit requires excess thrust with one engine inoperative
throughout the takeoff phase from lift-off to the end of the final climb
segment. In other words, the climb limit weight ensures that thrust will always
be greater than drag. This is specified by the FARs as a required climb
gradient capability for each segment of the takeoff profile.
The Runway Limit ensures that there is sufficient runway length for the
aircraft to either reject the takeoff and stop on the runway, or continue the
takeoff with an engine failure just before V1. On the TPS, the runway limit
also includes limitations for obstacle clearance, brake energy, and tire
speed, all of the items based on the takeoff runway.
V2 Speed
The FARs require V2 to have a 20% margin above the stall speed. But there
is no upper limit to V2. The operator can choose any V2 speed if it is equal
to or faster than 1.2 Vs. Generally the V2 speed is set to the minimum of 1.2
Vs. This usually gives the best performance considering the climb and
runway limits.
There are cases in which a faster V2 will increase the overall performance
capability of the aircraft. Any increase in the V2 speed will result in a better
climb gradient or heavier climb limit weight. But, as all things in life, it comes
with a cost. The faster V2 speed requires a longer runway. When the climb
limit weight is lighter than the runway limit weight, there is excess runway.
For these cases, a faster V2 will increase the maximum takeoff weight by
increasing the climb limit weight. This is “Improved Performance”.

Standard Thrust
Introduction
All jet engines are designed to operate from idle thrust to a certified
maximum thrust rating. The temperature surge from idle to takeoff thrust is
the biggest cause of engine wear; specifically, it causes engine core (hot
section) metal fatigue. The greater the temperature differential from idle to
MAX, the greater the wear. Consequently, reducing the core temperature at
takeoff thrust reduces wear, prolongs engine life and can reduce the risk of
engine failure.
Standard Thrust Concepts
Often, aircraft weight is significantly lighter than maximum takeoff limited
weight (lighter of climb and runway limited weights) which will allow takeoff
at a lower thrust setting. In these cases, American uses reduced or
"Standard" Thrust for takeoff. Standard Thrust simply converts excess
takeoff performance into a lower takeoff thrust setting, thereby enhancing
engine reliability and reducing maintenance costs.
Computing Standard Thrust
To calculate the Standard Takeoff Thrust Setting, the "assumed
temperature" method is used. Using this method, the standard thrust setting
is computed assuming an ambient temperature higher than actual. To do this
TPS first takes the Planned Takeoff Weight (PTOW) plus 2000 lbs. This is
the Assumed Takeoff Weight (ATOW). The 2000 lbs is simply a conservative
weight buffer. TPS then determines the highest temperature at which the
ATOW can be accommodated without exceeding the CLIMB or RWY weight
limit. This temperature is the Assumed Temperature (AT). TPS then looks up
the takeoff thrust setting for the AT and Pressure Altitude.

20.20 PERFORMANCE - FAR PERF
30 OCT 18 B737 Operations Manual, Volume I
The chart illustrates a case where MAX Thrust is not required because the
PTOW is well below the RWY or Climb Limited Weights. The chart shows
that Standard Thrust provides the flexibility to handle variations in weights
and temperatures which allow operations up to ATOW and AT without the
need for new TPS computations.
When Standard Thrust is authorized, any operation in the shaded area
reduces costs and enhances engine reliability. If an engine failure occurs
while making a Standard Thrust takeoff, thrust on the remaining engine
ensures sufficient performance to meet all requirements.
Performance Margins with Standard Thrust
Several performance margins beyond the basic FAA requirements exist
when using Standard Thrust. Some or all of the following margins exist for
every Standard Thrust Takeoff:
• Minimum control speed accountability:
Since VMCG and VMCA speeds are based on MAX thrust, Standard
thrust provides extra margin for minimum control speeds. Engine thrust
may be increased from Standard to MAX without violating minimum
control speeds.
• Ambient Temperature / True Airspeed Margin:
The performance at the assumed temperature is predicated on longer
takeoff roll because of higher true airspeed (higher density altitude).
Since actual ambient temperature is colder (lower density altitude),
actual true airspeeds are slower. The result is less distance to reach V1,
VR, and V2.
• ATOW Buffer:
Every pound that the aircraft weight is below the 2000 lb ATOW buffer
translates into extra performance.
• Maximum AT:
FARs limit the amount of thrust reduction to 25% of Maximum Thrust.
When this limits the standard thrust usage, excess performance exists.
Limitations on the use of Standard Thrust
There are conditions which prohibit using Standard Thrust for takeoff. TPS
recognizes and prohibits standard thrust in some cases and subsequently
produces a statement indicating Standard Thrust is not authorized and the
reason. However, some conditions prohibiting standard thrust are not
recognized by TPS. The TPS section has a complete list of these items. It is
the Captain’s responsibility to ensure that no condition exists that
prohibits the use Standard Thrust even though it appears on the TPS.

At time of dispatch, when forecast visibility is less than 3/4 mile or RVR 4000,
15% must be added to the required landing length regardless of the runway
